Returning data from an Ant task?

[Karl]

I'm writing a custom ant task that parses a text file and I'd like to 
somehow pass the results back to the ant process. Is it possible to 
return an "output parameter" string value to an ant process? Ideally I'd 
like to do something like:
<target name="getversion" description="Retrieves the version of the 
product build out of the version file.">
   <taskdef name="getversion" classname="GetVersion" 
classpath="MyAntExtension.jar"/>
   <property name="MyVersion" value={getversion 
fileName="c:\work\AntExtensions\EXT_VERSION"} />
</target>
?
regards,
Karl
